*Please '''read''' the checklist when you upload media files. The checklist is there to make sure you are doing everything necessary when uploading said media files.
*Be sure to '''[[Archives:Tagging images|tag]]''' and '''[[Archives:Manual of style#Categories|categorize]]''' all images. This helps organize the vast amount of images we have here.
*Check if your image already exists by searching through categories, and Bulbapedia pages. This action will help prevent unnecessary duplicates from appearing.
*When adding a licensing tag to anime or game screenshots, please avoid just choosing "Screenshot". This is not descriptive and places the images in the wrong category. Make sure to choose "Screenshot from a Pokémon game," or "Screenshot from the Pokémon anime." This will put them in the right categories, and help keep the Archives clean.
*Does your image have a purpose? Will you be using it on a Bulbagarden Project? Avoid uploading images because you think they are "Cute" or "Awesome". That clutters the Archives.
*Personal images are limited to two for each User. Personal images include personal logos, personal trainer sprites, drawings, trainer cards and mostly any image that would only be used in the User: namespace and have no encyclopedic value to Bulbagarden and its affiliates. Please tag these with the {{template|i-Personal}} template for easier organization. Under no circumstance should a photograph of one's self ever be uploaded onto Bulbapedia Archives.
*In addition, please upload images with meaningful names. Names that are just numbers, for example, do not describe anything about the image, and can make it difficult for searchers. Names are just as important as licenses and categories, so make them descriptive.
*Due to the many automated templates used on the wiki, lowercase extensions are imperative. That means jpg and png instead of JPG and PNG. It looks cleaner, it works better, and it does not cause any problems. Make sure to always use lowercase extensions.
*If you're confused about the requirements for uploading files, have a look at [[:File:BulbaArchives Howto.png|this guide]].

Make sure that you place the Image header templates onto the image headers whenever you upload them. Also, summaries and categories are extremely important, and you cannot forget those either. [[User:Maverick Nate|Maverick Nate]] 19:44, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

:Also, I am unsure of how you are getting the screenshots, but the header you uploaded for EP068 does not look good. It looks like you blew up the gif that was already here and converted it to png. If this is true, don't do it again. We want quality, and converting from a gif completely kills the quality. Don't do it again. [[User:Maverick Nate|Maverick Nate]] 19:51, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Make sure to change the appropriate categories too. When you don't, you are getting images into categories like [[:Category:Raichu]] or [[:Category:Ash's Pikachu]] when they are no where to be seen in the image. [[User:Maverick Nate|Maverick Nate]] 04:20, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

:It would be a huge help if you checked where else the images were used before replacing them. For instance, [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ash%27s_Raticate&diff=prev&oldid=763750 this article] was left looking silly because you didn't check to remove the image. This can be done quite easily, with the tabs on the right-hand-side that say Bulbapedia and Bulbanews. Other than that, keep up the good work. &mdash; <small>[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<font color="#0000C8">THE TROM</font></small>]] &mdash; 10:13, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
